I pray DJ means Savanna no harm. And that they are found soon so Savanna can return home safely.

I pray DJ means Savanna no harm. And that they are found soon so Savanna can return home safely.

Me too TP, there are no updates this morning.

[rockford2]

ok. I know there is a teenaged girl out there missing.....but how messed up are some people? Did anyone read "DJ's profile??? MY GOD!! Her father just got out of prison, this poor young lady must be confused about whether she is straight or not because she writes that she has a daughter.

So does she think about her actions in abducting this girl, Savannah, will do to her own daughter? She also calls a 15 year old girl, her 'wife!"

YOu know peeps, this is everyone's world. We spend so much time trying not to stick our noses into anyone's business, but when you 'allow' your 15 year old daughter so much freedom to have a 'myspace' and talking about how this isn't the first time she has run off with a 20 year old girlfriend!?"
My 14 year old will be 15 on Wednesday. I DON'T allow him to have a myspace! Nor will I ever until he is 18 years old and off at college. He also has time restrictions on his outside activities. It takes TIME and PATIENCE and a whole lotta big headaches for Mom and Dad......but hell, if your bring a child INTO this world, then PLEASE, do them the courtesty of riding their arses and when you say, "NO!" mean it!!

I may have an ulcer by the time my son turns 18, but he knows we are here for him, what we expect from him, and what we will NOT tolerate from him. Will this last? Well......I tell him all the time, "if he thinks he has it bad at home, then start packing!"

I pray they find this young lady and are able to give her a stern lecture! :1222423:

[Gladys Kravitz]

I'm with you Rockford!

After reviewing DJ's MySpace, I see she logged in yesterday.

I'm with you Rockford!

I don't see that, Gladys, but I'm not sure how to work around those websites.

If we all stopped trying to be 'politically correct' all the time, and maybe stuck our noses in when it comes to giving out advice, maybe this world wouldn't be so dang screwed up!

I'm sorry. But if my father chose to do something that could put him in prison......which my own father did, there is NO WAY, i would want to be around that or have my kid(s) around that! I can have forgiveness in my heart......meaning, if they choose to forgive themselves and get back on the right track, I'm all for it. But DJ's profile reads like a nightmare!
And peeps......for heaven sake, in these times, we have soooo much out there to use for protection! NO EXCUSE to have children when you are a child yourself.

Like I said before. I hope the 15 year old is found safe and sound and ready for a stern lecture AND most of all, I hope for the sake of DJ's daughter.....who needs a mother. :1187603408.CR.Mothe

The music alone on these websites is despicable!@!! :puke::mad: My GoD.....the language these young girls use!!! GRRRRR

This does not make much sense, why does DJ state that she is from Weslaco Texas on her profile, just a quick glance of her friends, I would be willing to bet none are from south Texas.

Seems very odd to me.

Kalamazoo, Mich (WOOD) - Update: Kalamazoo County dispatch confirms that 15-year-old Savanna Michelle Gay has been found.

Gay and Diane Jean Bridges, the woman police believed may have abducted Gay, have both been located unharmed in Calhoun County.

No other details have been released.

======================

Original Story:

Police are looking for 15-year-old Savanna Michelle Gay.

They believe the Kalamazoo teen may have been abducted by a woman.

They say she may have been taken by force from a home in the 8000 block of East O Avenue.
Savanna is 5'4'' and 100 pounds. She is white, with green eyes and brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a white coat with fur around the collar, light blue sweat pants, and slippers.

She is believed to have been abducted by ex-girlfriend, 20-year-old Diane Jean Bridges. She is a 5'7'' and 140 pound white female, with hazel eyes and a very short buzzed haircut.

Bridges may be driving a dark-colored Chevy Lumina.


If you have any information on their whereabouts, call 911 or the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Department.

[Faith]

I'M happy Savanna was found safe.

She was unharmed and has been taken to The Ark in Kalamazoo which is a crisis intervention center for youth.

But, when police found Gay they also found Bridges. She's now behind bars for harboring a runaway.

[rockford2]

Wonder what will happen to DJ's daughter? If you can stomach the music playing on DJ's myspace, her daughter's picture comes along after a LONG line of photos of her nephew.
I hope both DJ and Savanna both find the help they need.

[nanabillie]

I hope they lock "DJ" up for a long time. Maybe Savanna will have time to get some mental help. I wonder if DJ can be helped. Just my opinion, which I should not give, I don't think our Fore Fathers had the words to that song in mind when they said "Freedom of Speech". And hard to believe, that song went Platinum.
When my boys were young teens we were driving up the interstate when one of them told their Dad that the other one had a tape with a bad word on it. (Four letter word). It was tossed out the window of the car. Yes, littering, I know.
